Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

"Ha Qiu, Ha Qiu!"

Suddenly, the emperor sneezed several times. Concubine Gao came in with a bowl of ginseng chicken soup and happened to see it. She placed the soup on the table and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, have you caught a cold?"

The emperor saw Concubine Gao frowned, and then he dodged Concubine Gao's hand without leaving any trace. He asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with you coming here?"

Ever since the emperor learned that Concubine Gao's father had also embezzled disaster relief grain, he never summoned her again.

Especially after knowing that the emperor had met Concubine Yu, Concubine Gao became extremely frightened and uneasy.

So, he quickly ordered the people in the imperial kitchen to stew chicken soup and brought it over personally.

Concubine Gao held herself dignified, yet her expression held a hint of charm. She looked at the emperor with seductive eyes and said gently, "I have seen that Your Majesty has been overworked recently, so I specially prepared a bowl of ginseng chicken soup for Your Majesty."

As she spoke, she picked up the ginseng chicken soup, scooped a spoonful of it, put it to her lips and blew on it, "The ginseng in this chicken soup is a hundred-year-old ginseng that I specially found for Your Majesty. It is the most nourishing."

The emperor smiled, with a barely perceptible coldness in his eyes, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, my beloved concubine. I have lost my appetite recently and cannot stand greasy food."

After hearing this, Concubine Gao forced a smile and said, "Yes...it's my fault for not considering it carefully."

"I heard that Minister Gao has been unwell and bedridden lately. I would like to give this bowl of chicken soup to him and allow my beloved concubine to leave the palace to visit him."

The emperor pushed back Concubine Gao's hand holding the soup spoon and said in a light voice.

"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."

It just so happened that Concubine Gao wanted to find a reason to leave the palace to discuss with her father the emperor's sudden indifference towards her. At this time, Concubine Gao's face was full of impatience.

After sending Concubine Gao away, the emperor read the memorial for a while and then came back with a piece of news.

That is the list of corruption cases during the three years of the disaster in the north.

"Uncle Lu, I'm here to see you." Yaoyao stepped over the high threshold and ran to Lu Jiu with her short legs. She blinked her eyes and looked at Lu Jiu who was grinding the inkstone with curiosity.

"Yaoyao." Lu Jiu stopped and looked at Yaoyao tenderly, "You're here."

Yaoyao nodded chuckled, staring with her big round eyes, and said, "I came here today to talk to Uncle Lu about something."

"Oh~ Yaoyao, what did you want to talk to me about?"

The powerful Yaoyao Qiushi appeared before him, which aroused Lu Jiu's interest.

Yaoyao thought for a moment and said, "I bought a house in the city, but the gate is very dilapidated and the house is full of dust. I wanted to ask Uncle Lu if he could help me find someone to install the gate and clean the house at the same time."

Although it was Old Lady Liu who arranged the house, Yaoyao didn't want her grandmother to be tired, so it would be great to have someone to help.

"Yaoyao means that you want me to find a human trafficker to bring you some honest and smart slaves and maids?" Lu Jiu asked.

Yaoyao blinked, scratched her hair, and frowned.

Is this what she just said?

Old Lady Lu, who was following Yaoyao closely, heard this and said with a smile, "Just ask me for help in finding servants and maids. Your Uncle Lu, a grown man, doesn't know how to do these things. I happen to have a few honest and dutiful servants in my house. You can take them back with you and ask them to sweep the yard when you go back. As for the maids, I'll take care of them."

Yaoyao listened to Madam Lu's chatter. She only heard about someone helping to sweep the yard. She immediately smiled sweetly, looked at Madam Lu with smiling eyes, and said in a baby voice, "Thank you, grandma."

Old Madam Lu was mesmerized by Yaoyao's smile. She raised her hand and stroked the top of her furry head. "Grandma Lu will definitely handle this matter beautifully for you. She will definitely find you some smart maids."

"Uh-huh."

To express her gratitude, Yaoyao took out a small jade gourd and handed it to Mrs. Lu, saying in a milky voice, "Grandma Lu, this is for you. There will be a surprise."

The small jade gourd looks extremely delicate, with a beautiful flower carved on the surface. I don’t know what kind of flower it is, but it blooms very beautifully, and there is a long red rope.

Old Madam Lu waved her hands repeatedly. She had come after Yaoyao with the intention of giving her a gift, but now she was accepting Yaoyao's things instead.

She was embarrassed to accept it.

"Grandma can't take your things. You keep them yourself."

Lu Jiu knew that the things Yaoyao gave were not ordinary things, so he persuaded her, "Mom, this is a token of Yaoyao's kindness, so just accept it."

"Grandma, please accept it quickly. There will be a surprise."

Yaoyao blinked her round, bright eyes, looked at Old Lady Lu sincerely, and nodded vigorously to show her sincerity.

Old Madam Lu looked at the pair of sparkling eyes and reached out to take it as if possessed by a ghost.

"Grandma, you will have a surprise tonight." Yaoyao said with a smile.

These words left Mrs. Lu confused.

surprise?

Isn’t this period of time surprising enough?

The eldest son was saved, and even the two paralyzed illegitimate sons were gradually able to move after Yaoyao's treatment.

This is simply a miracle from heaven.

Putting away the jade gourd, Madam Lu took Yaoyao's chubby hand and walked out of the house. She smiled so hard that her eyes disappeared. As she walked, she said, "Come on, grandma has something for you."

Prime Minister's Mansion——

Director Yu stood by the bed, looking at the pale Prime Minister, and shrilled in surprise, "Prime Minister, what kind of magic medicine did you take that actually cured all the poison in your body?"

"This is not some miracle drug at all." Prime Minister Yuan had a look of pain on his face.

"What do you mean?" Director Yu was confused.

The poison has been removed, what's with that expression?

Prime Minister Yuan suppressed the pain and said through gritted teeth, "If I had known that this antidote was made with my daughter's blood, I would have preferred to be poisoned to death!"

Director Yu was shocked when he heard this.

Blood?

What kind of blood has such miraculous effects?
